Grapefruit Hibiscus Margarita
I have mentioned it a time or 12 before that margaritas are absolutely my favorite drink. That along with gin + tonics, and anything with bourbon. Anytime we are having one of "those weeks", or one of "those days", we make margaritas. Juicing limes, playing Jimmy Buffet, and rimming the glass with salt. A bad mood does not exist with those 3 key elements happening in the kitchen.
Being a long time fan of Morris Kitchen with their amazing cocktail syrups. Ginger Syrup. Preserved Lemon Syrup. Rhubarb Syrup and my favorite Grapefruit Hibiscus Syrup. We have partnered together for a fun cocktail + giveaway. Head over to my Instagram account for a chance to win a bottle of Grapefruit Hibiscus & Ginger Spice Cocktail Mixer.
